300 Pound Pythons On The Loose In Florida

The South Asian snakes, which can top 300 pounds, or 135 kilograms, and 20 feet, or 6 meters, are presumed to have entered the park as discards or escapees from the bustling international trade in exotic pets. Year-old, foot-long pythons are a popular $70 item at reptile fairs, but in a few years can reach room-spanning, cat-munching size, prompting some owners to abandon them by the roadside. That practice may not pose an ecological problem in Detroit, Snow said, but in a near-tropical Florida park, it is an unfolding nightmare.......more

Mexicans In Florida Share A Rite Of Death

But their teenage giggles are sliced with talk of death. And faith and family. And being buried in a homeland a thousand miles and a gulf away. Soon, the girls will compete in a special pageant in which beauty falls second to charity. They're raising money to help pay for the proper burials of Mexican migrants who die here. The pageant is as much a celebration of honoring the dead as it is about youth and grace -- a strange juxtaposition of beginnings and endings......more

Tampa Bay Mitigation Bank

Ten years in the making with three years to go, the 160-acre site is being bulldozed into Hillsborough County's first wetlands mitigation bank. When it's finished, developers that want to destroy wetlands will be able to compensate for the environmental damage by buying credits in the form of wetland acreage in Casey's Tampa Bay Mitigation Bank.......more

"The neighborhood where the wetland is damaged suffers flooding and pollution of their lake or river, But they don't get the benefit of the mitigation when the developer purchases part of a wetlands somewhere else.".....Mariella Smith

Baozi
Chinese Cardboard Buns With A Side Of Chemicals
The report generated wide national and international attention as the latest in a string of scares involving China-produced foods, including toxic seafood, virus-plagued pigs and chemical-laden toothpaste. The "expose" purportedly showed a seller of the buns, known as "baozi," softening shredded cardboard with an industrial chemical and fortifying the bogus meat with a bit of fatty pork........here

Blind Loyalty Latest US War Casualty
Pemberton, New Jersey

"Me and my husband try not to be political people — we try to take authority from God, I think he has been a good president. But I do think in some ways, instead of letting God totally rule his decisions (Bush) has let some of the other people higher up do that."........Virginia Green

Liberals Vow to Block Continued Iraq Funding

Seventy House members, nearly all liberal Democrats, vowed today that they would not support any more funding for Iraq military operations unless tied to a complete withdrawal of combat troops. This is a big development. Earlier this year, liberals grudgingly voted for Iraq funding bills because they didn't want to give Nancy Pelosi a defeat. Now it seems that their patience has run out........more

James Kotecki
Forget New Hampshire. The first real presidential primary is on the Internet

So it was irritating to him to see presidential candidates making poor use of the Web — posting speeches and canned performances rather than more personal communications. They weren't using the medium the way young people use it — talking directly to the camera in a very casual and laid-back way.......more

"Probably the world's foremost expert on YouTube videos posted by presidential candidates."

The Narrow Band Of Democratic Elites

Howard Dean

The Washington Post is under the impression that Governor Dean's campaign failed. But what's left unsaid is the fact that the heart of Governor Dean's campaign -- which was to end the war in Iraq and the 50 State Strategy -- is now the core platform within the Democratic Party. Due primarily to the work of Deaniacs like us who have blogged, contributed money, knocked on doors, made phone calls and attended campaign trainings like the one in Orange County, California this weekend -- the Governor and Democracy for America have changed the face of American politics. And this is a progressive political movement we can all be proud of.......more

Worst American President

However he was wrong, and no one can ignore it any longer. Eighteen months from the end of his mandate, those closest to him say that Bush is concerned with the mark on history he will leave. Confronting chaos, he has already been judged by part of the American press: he's the worst President the United States has ever had.....more

"George W. Bush has succeeded in simultaneously driving Iraq and his own country into a dead end."
